I’m with the Twitterer wondering how so many people know what Ed Sheeran looks like.

As for Dragonstone being up for grabs…its castle takes up an entire island in the middle of a big body of water. Not easy to get to, and every season an armada or two gets burned down, so it’s not so simple.

Well given that Ed Sheeran is quite possibly the biggest male artist in the world today, I’m going to assume that is how so many people recognise him. It’s cool though. We get it. You’re edgy and against the grain.

Everyone recognized him because he’s one of the biggest celebrities in the world. Which you could argue would be a reason *not* to give him a cameo, because it was a bit jarring. But, it wasn’t any bigger of a role than Gary Lightbody or Sigur Ros got, so they didn’t really go out of their way to get him in there.

Uproxx only had a couple dozen articles with his face on them going on about, “Ed Sheeran is friends with Taylor Swift!”, and now he finally has a single I heard in Shape of You. So apparently he’s a huge star now, though I still don’t really get that impression outside of some dorks trying to tell me that.

I don’t have a problem with that as you could say they scarpered after seeing dragons flying on the horizon. It isn’t a bad as the fan pandering wink to the audience moments of which there were a lot. Sansa giving Little finger shit, that little girl doing the exact same speech again, the Hound giving out about man buns, Ed just happened to be singing, and that extended montage of Sam cleaning up shite actually felt like watching a different TV show.
